Lol I never understood why he left me this message... Maybe he didn't realize I've been a member for almost 3 years at the time xD He never replied to the message I left him either hehe Pip (talk) 09:40, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Facebook revision

The new layout has already been covered in the article, and the opposition group is highly unimportant unless discussed in reliable sources. GlassCobra 23:10, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Apologies for coming off harshly above. You are a longstanding member and I should have spoken to you as such. Keep up the good work. :) GlassCobra 23:14, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Barnstars 'R' U

		The Hidden Page Barnstar
		I award you one for finding Trekphiler's page for people who always think that "new message" bar is real. Aren't you glad you checked your mail? TREKphiler 08:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Hahahaha thanks TREKphiler xD Pip (talk) 08:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Whether you deserve is an open question. =p TREKphiler 08:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

LOL. That's OK, I own stock in AOL. ;D TREKphiler 09:02, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I stumbled on it on somebody's page (wish I could recall who...) & thought it was kind of a neat idea. I had no idea I'd get so many hits... I originally had a message more like WP's (if you noticed iNkubusse suggesting it), but I got word that's frowned on. One more guideline I didn't know about. *sigh* TREKphiler 09:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, glad you liked it. Ta. TREKphiler 09:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

<--If you got the joke, & aren't offended (I wasn't so sure it was as funny to you as to me...), go ahead & restore it from the page history, if you want. Or not. And yeh, I'm glad you got it. (My sense of humor is a bit weird...) TREKphiler 22:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Whatevever works. Thanks. TREKphiler 21:11, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Joaum

Hi!

Thank you for your advice. I'm tryng to log with the "Joaum" username, but, until now, nothing had happened. As you have told, the username is valid. Is strange that I can log. I always use the same password to avoid this tipe of problems. Well, I'll keep tryng.

Once more, thank you.

Userboxes

Glad you like some of the userboxes. Here's a whole list of them you can use: Userboxes Template -- MF14 14:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

deletion

pure chance (: jimfbleak (talk) 14:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

just as well you said that, he'd removed the tag jimfbleak (talk) 15:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

The "hold on" just said that Misplaced Pages has plenty of space, give him a chance, so I've deleted and salted this time jimfbleak (talk) 15:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

It's now a fully protected page that can only be created or edited by admins unless the protection is removed. Just to clarify, there is an intermediate level (semi-protection) which bars only unregistered and new editors. This tends to be used on heavily vandalised pages jimfbleak (talk) 15:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

And now you have...

...got a new message ;-) Lugnuts (talk) 16:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Why did you request to speedily delete my article?

I have just started the article, and I know it's short, but I didn't even have a chance to expand it before the tag was placed on it. What do I need to add? I will add it. Also, please make sure it is not deleted immediately. -- IRP (talk) 21:05, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I've responded to this on the respective article's talk page. Cheers, Pip (talk) 21:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Is it OK now? Please see these links

Talk:VORTEX2

VORTEX2

-- IRP (talk) 21:55, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Again, it's best we discuss this on the article's talk page. Pip (talk) 21:57, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I posted here to notify you because it took you a while to respond. Meanwhile, I expanded the introductory paragraph. -- IRP (talk) 22:27, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Torx (game)

Just a friendly note on Torx (game). I declined your speedy deletion request because the article (even when you made the request) did not meet the requirements of G1 patent nonsense. If you still think the article needs to be deleted, I'd suggest taking it to AfD. Thanks!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks. I actually was kinda on autopilot, since that user had been posting streams of spam up, and so I got a bit hasty when I saw yet another article by him... I removed the tag, but you were probably just too quick and efficient :P either way, he created another bogus page and I believe he was blocked. Either way, the history is pretty clear in his talk. Thanks again! Cheers Pip (talk) 23:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Remote-Free TV

I see you speedily deleted the article I created. Could you clarify on what was missing? I had thought I had enough information necessary for a minute-old stub.--Armyable (talk) 05:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. I tagged this article according to Misplaced Pages's Criteria for Speedy Deletion criterion A1, not enough context to identify subject because of just that. To directly answer your question, I did not think it had enough information even for a stub, since it was impossible to actually determine what the subject was. You could have contested the deletion by adding the {{holdon}} tag, and providing a discussion on the page's talk page, especially suggesting how the article were to be improved so that it longer applied to the selected criterion. I'm sorry if you feel as though it should not have been deleted, and urge you to recreate the article, making sure it has enough information to constitute at least a stub.
